Morpheus and Aureus arrived at the Wood Elf Clan territory. As they flew over the treetops, Morpheus instructed his nephew. "Be careful. These tree spirits are sensitive to the intrusion of strangers."
"Tree spirits?" Aureus asked as he looked at those normal looking trees.
"Hmm! They are not normal trees like what we have in Divine Eagle Clan territory. Wood elves live inside homes made in the trees with tree spirits. These trees have their own thoughts and instincts and can act according to them. Though they can not hear or talk, they can sense the things around them clearly. If they feel any threat, they don't bother to refrain themselves from attacking."
It surprised Aureus, "I have just heard it from mother when I was a child but I thought she was just making up a nice story to entertain me and then I forgot it like any other stories."
"Why don't you try going near them to check if those were simply stories or there is truth in them?"
